The microscopic world is terrifying

me too, or at least I don't find it terrifying but rather quite interesting. How does it use that moustache/teeth?

I've had that same question about crabs. Like... dafuq? Do they have a mouth before they swallow and they just kind of stuff shit in? Anytime I order a lobster and get the full lobster I basically dissect it while I eat and wonder how it works, but I've never gotten a full crab, just the legs. I'd imagine it would be similar... but even with the lobster I can't really tell.

Well the condescending answer is that the various proteins denature during cooking, so it does turn into "internal lobster glop." But the true answer is that I dissected locusts (among other smelly things) in school and even uncooked it all looked like locust glop. I don't think my grade impressed anyone :-) I grew up on the US east coast where blue crabs abound - they are fairly small so you often eat them whole, steamed. Getting a mouthful of gill will send you shuddering for another beer, but as for the rest.... glop.

Glop sounds about right lol. Dang, blue crabs that small? My few experiences with blue crabs were in South Carolina, and every one we decided to cook was at least 6 inches across the shell.
